World. Famous.



Today while I was walking back to the dorm from class a blue shirted stranger greeted me and told me to get on this large bus.

Usually I don't hop into vehicles with people I don't know, but since the request came from a girl I assumed nothing bad would come of it, or if anything did, I would be the one to blame.

Turns out this bus was part of some promotional tour for my favorite past employer. That electronics-retailing-apple-of-my-eye: Imperfect Purchase.

It was probably the coolest bus I've ever been on. It was decked out with MP3 players, a computer, PS2s, flat screen TVs, and even some turn tables in the back which no one could figure out how to work.

When I got on board I was informed by a tom-boyish Californian girl (who lives on the thing!) and my former boss that if I rode the bus back to their hive, er store, I could enter a chance to win a laptop.

Mr. Managerial recognized me immediately, but he couldn't recall where he knew me from.

Bumping into him was kinda like how I'm always running into people I went to high school with. I suppose even if I moved to Australia I'd always run into someone I knew, there's just no ditching your past.

Note: I'll laugh if anyone gets the referencce the title of this post comes from!
